So also made he for the door of the temple posts of olive tree, a fourth part of the wall.
The detail belongs to the account of Solomon's construction of the temple, a work carried out under his direction. The posts made for the doorway of the temple were of olive wood, and the doorway occupied a fourth part of the wall, forming a quarter of the wall at the entrance. The house thus built for God was magnificent, renowned for its richness and beauty and costly design, reflecting the care taken in its building. It was erected as a permanent construction, following the same proportions and arrangement as the wilderness tabernacle, though on a larger scale.
